It's a great hill. Very old school, laid back vibe and great terrain. They really need natural there to shine, though...and on cold windy days, those lifts take forever. I haven't been there enough to really explore it. Being at Jay and getting an epic or ikon, it just usually gets left out for me, but I do try to make it there at least once a season.

Sounds about right..think about this year, though; they've only had 6 days of snowmaking so far and had every hydrant on superstar going. Without the world cup and a week earlier of snowmaking temps, I'm sure much of Snowdon, would be done.

Looks like some of those lake streamers make it all the way to the greens on the nam. Quite the show out in ny. .
-
Dumping right now at Killington. Looks like a great opening day vibe.
-
Though it shouldn’t be a surprise, Killington gets the official green light this morning for the World Cup..6 for 6…congrats to them. .

The 6z nam had that area up to Stowe in the sweet spot for the next few hours, but 12z looks like it backed off a bit. .
-
Hard to tell on the cam, but looks like about 3” on the deck rail. Can’t see in the picture, but it’s steady snow at the moment. . -
You think 12-18 is a little high up here? There's some lake streamers that look like they could enhance it, but still looks like a stretch

I lost .

cursing and screaming about Subaru driving, over measuring, fake snow Vermonters.

I don't know why because it's just air and water, but I am always in awe of those massive snowmaking efforts. It's enough to want to make that my retirement job in about 10 years. Crap hours, crap working conditions, crap pay, but something about being out there in the middle of night blasting the mountain with snow.
-
I agree..I bet they have snowmaking shut down, the trail groomed and sprayed down and the fences in by Monday.
-
Entertainment purposes only…but i’d hit that. .

Lots of snow in the air on that flow following the storm. .

Always appreciate his detailed meteorological analysis. Really adds a lot to those wishing to discuss weather. .
-
Yes, you’re right. They do have an inspection I think right around now, but in the past, they get a wink and nod from FIS because of their reputation and the forecast. This is a big race for them, so I think they trust killington if they say they can get it done. .
-
I think they’ll be fine. Looks like non-stop snowmaking until the event. I bet they open the north ridge weds too. This is about as good an early season window as it gets. Just give us a heads up when you start seeing things break down! .

Game on! .

Still wet at 1800’ at my place. .
-
Marketing’s wet dream..cold in the cities, snow guns blasting, Facebook posts of snow falling and snow covered streets. Maybe even throw in a horse pulling the marketing team around the streets. Everybody in nyc and Boston will book this week. .
-
Not fake, either. .
-
Yeah, no joke there. Entire northeast. This has to be one of the better mid/late November snowmaking windows in the last several years. .
-
You should be able to crush it this week fully staffed and with the temps. Probably well ahead of last year. I think I remember you struggling with the decision to open day before thanksgiving or blowing non-stop as that was the first window at 1500’. Probably 10 nights of temps pre thanksgiving this year. I forget, you go lord/t line after the quad/north slope line? .

Just about lost it all. .
